Distinction!


Thinking back (approximately 4 weeks ago), it was indeed a moment of extreme uneasiness for N. There must have been countless number of butterflies in her little tummy. She did a good job in trying to divert her own attention from the unknown by playing with the musical instruments on display, ranging from keyboards, guitars to violins. I tried to help by re-tying her dress ribbons over and over again till it was in the perfect shape and position; and telling her how pretty and cute she looked in her white long dress etc etc.

Soon, her name was called and she looked totally helpless. Within 10 minutes, she was out of that “slaughter room”.

Today, it is a day for celebration!

It came as a total surprise! I wasnt pinning high hope given the amount of time Nicole spent on practising her exam pieces. Nevertheless, she scored a distinction, the least of my expectation! My joy was very vividly displayed the moment I spotted her name listed on the website. I simply couldnt believe my eyes!

To fulfil our promise to her, almost instantaneously, we got her a Nintendo DS Lite! She was absolutely overjoyed! Hopefully, she will be more motivated to work on her grade 2 pieces going forward.

Well done, Nic! You made us proud!

Dear all, thanks for encouragement.

Hi mamapumpkin,nic is learning the piano. Won't start her on violin unless she asks for it. She can be musical but she lacks patience.Hope playing the piano will help to nurture her.thanks for popping over.
